Digital Eyepieces for Microscopes?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday February 3, 2004 @10:30AM from the squint-less dept.

tfiedler asks: "I'm trying to find a low cost digital eyepiece for my microscope, around $200 or so in cost, and have ran across very little useful information. I want something that can be plugged into my video capture card, so RCA or S-vid output is a requirement. I've found the following two products. The barrel for my microscope is 18mm in diameter. Does anyone have other suggestions, or any experience with the ones at the mentioned URLs? Additionally, has anyone done anything like this with a webcam?"

You might find more options if you don't limit yourself to microscope accessory makers. Try including telescopes. Although the barrel sizes differ (telescope eyepieces being usually either 1.25 or 2 inch diameter) the technology should be compatible/adaptable. I found this one: http://www.scopetronix.com/digitalcam.htm
